Talk:Chicago and the development of social practice/@comment-25585558-20141027015712

Artist and museum administrator Pablo Helguera curated the Addams/ Dewey gymnasium. With regard to combining and recognizing the efforts of social practioner Jane Addams and the educational theories of John Dewey I delved further into the efforts of those peole who advocate for social services as well those peolple who advocated for public space  This can also be felt as you traverse the "Proximity" exhibit and adjacent to the gym there is a Plea for Playgrounds which was curated by artist/ educator Jim Duignan and architectural historian Jennifer Gray from Columbia University. In his installation The refernces relative to Jane Addams and John Dewey can also be felt by the contributions by landscape architect Jens Jensen. This urban planner advocated and contributed to the spaces such as the Garfield Park Conservatory. His contributions led to produciton company Vivia Lundin Productions which produced a documentary film titled Jens Jensen The Living Green. There is a book titled Jens Jensen: maker of natural parks and gardens, by Robert E. Grese. The call number is SB470.J4 G74, 1992.
